LearnWorlds (2026) — who it’s actually for

Updated August 29, 2026 · Official pricing, homepage, interactive-video, and checkout pages fetched this evening. If a number is missing below, we could not cite it.

LearnWorlds is an interactive course player, not Kajabi’s business OS. Starter is $29/mo plus $5 per paid enrollment. Pro Trainer is $99/mo with no enrollment fees. The full Interactive Video Editor sits on Learning Center at $299/mo.

Who this page is for

Experts with a method, deciding whether LearnWorlds is the school — not whether they should invent a catalog. A recorded school where the player is the product: interactive video, quizzes in the video, SCORM on Pro Trainer+. You would otherwise buy Kajabi because it looks like the grown-up stack, or sit on Starter because $29 looks like relief.

This is not a LearnWorlds vs everyone table. That lives on Kajabi vs LearnWorlds. This page is LearnWorlds on its own terms: the interactive player versus the all-in-one, and Starter’s $5 versus Pro Trainer’s 0%.

The short version

Cited numbers, August 29, 2026

USD. Monthly is month-to-month. Annual is the advertised per-month rate when you pay yearly. Platform fee is LearnWorlds’ cut, not card processing. Official pricing page: all prices exclude VAT; VAT added for EU customers unless a valid EU VAT number is provided. Active learners are monthly on the cards tonight.

What you are actually buying

An interactive LMS with commerce. Unlimited paid courses on every named plan. Interactive Video Editor: questions, hotspots, buttons, transcripts, AI subtitles. Full editor features start at Learning Center; Starter and Pro have some (interactive-video page, last update May 15, 2026). That is still a learning platform, not Kajabi’s business OS. Mass email credits are 2,000 / 5,000 / 10,000. Page funnels with AI: 15 / unlimited / unlimited. You are not buying Kajabi’s unlimited marketing emails and funnels grid.

Starter is the cheap-plan tax. $29/mo + $5 per paid enrollment. 1,000 monthly active learners. 1 admin. Live 1:1 and group sessions. Sell with your own Stripe or PayPal. Subscriptions, memberships, payment plans, certificates, and SCORM are not the Starter card.

Pro Trainer is the first honest named plan if enrollments are real. $99/mo. No enrollment fees. 2,000 monthly active learners. 5 admins. Certificates. Up to 20 SCORM uploads. Subscriptions, memberships, and payment plans. Still $80 under Kajabi Basic’s $179/mo public floor — with 5,000 mass-email credits against Kajabi’s 2,500 contacts and unlimited marketing emails. You are buying a player, not an OS.

Learning Center is $299/mo — $120 above Kajabi Basic — and that is the plan the interactive-video page names for the full editor. Full white-label. 25 admins. 10 client groups. Automations. If you wanted the player as advertised, price the plan that actually has it. If you wanted the OS, $299 is not a cheaper Kajabi.

Corporate is custom. Talk to sales. It is not on a public dollar card tonight.

Starter’s $5 vs Pro Trainer’s 0%

Public prices: Starter $29/mo. Pro Trainer $99/mo. Gap: $70/mo month-to-month. On the advertised annual rates, $24 vs $79 — a $55/mo gap. The $5 has to recoup that gap before Starter is “cheaper.”

Checkout page (last update July 14, 2026): Starter takes $5 per course enrollment; Pro Trainer and Learning Center have no transaction fees / 0% commission. Processor (Stripe or PayPal) separate. Arithmetic on listed enrollments, LearnWorlds’ cut only:

• The $5 is flat. It does not scale like Teachable Starter’s 7.5% or Podia Mover’s 5%. Fourteen paid enrollments = $70, which already matches the monthly gap. Eleven enrollments = $55, which matches the annual gap. After that, Starter is the more expensive plan before the processor is paid.
• On a $97 course, $5 is 5.2% of the listed price — already more than Kajabi Payments’ $3.11 processing on that sale. Stacked enrollments make Starter expensive. A high ticket makes the $5 look small. It is still extra, and it is still the product on Starter.
• On a $2,000 invoice, $5 is cheap as a percent. It is not a reason to sit on Starter if you will also hit 1,000 monthly active learners, or if you needed subscriptions and certificates — those sit on Pro Trainer.

That is not a forecast. It is the official $5 applied to how enrollments actually stack. If you sit on Starter “until it sells,” fourteen paid enrollments have already paid for a month of Pro Trainer.

What the fees do to a simple offer

Card processing sits on every stack. The extra question is LearnWorlds’ $5 on Starter. Three prices. Arithmetic only. Processor dollars below use LearnWorlds’ own FAQ example (2.9% + $0.30). Refunds, tax, and VAT change the dollar. We are not publishing a break-even month against Kajabi.

• $97. Starter: $5.00 enrollment plus processor $3.11 = $8.11. Pro Trainer: no enrollment fee; processor $3.11. Kajabi Payments Basic, US card: $3.11, plus $179/mo for the OS. Starter’s extra $5.00 is the cheap-plan tax on a small course — already more than Kajabi’s processing on that sale.
• $497. Starter: $5.00 + $14.71 = $19.71. Pro Trainer: processor $14.71. Kajabi Payments Basic: $14.71. The $5 is flat. On a $497 seat it is still extra; it is not a percent.
• $2,000. Starter: $5.00 + $58.30 = $63.30. Pro Trainer: processor $58.30. Kajabi Payments Basic: $58.30. Starter’s $5 is cheap on a high ticket and expensive on a $97 stack of enrollments.

Arithmetic only: the monthly gap between Kajabi Basic ($179) and LearnWorlds Pro Trainer ($99) is $80. The gap between Kajabi Basic and Starter ($29) is $150 — plus $5 per paid enrollment. Learning Center monthly is $299, $120 above Kajabi Basic, and that is the plan the interactive-video page names for the full editor. That is not “LearnWorlds is cheaper.” You are buying a different machine, and on Learning Center you are not buying a cheaper one. Full two-host table: Kajabi vs LearnWorlds.

Who should pick LearnWorlds

Starter if you are testing whether the offer is an interactive school. $29/mo. $5 per paid enrollment. 1,000 monthly active learners. 30-day trial first. Treat the $5 as the product, not a temporary inconvenience.

Pro Trainer if enrollments are real and you accept 2,000 monthly active learners and 5,000 mass-email credits. $99/mo. 0% commission. Certificates. 20 SCORM packages. Subscriptions and memberships. Still not Kajabi’s unlimited emails.

Learning Center if you need the full Interactive Video Editor, full white-label, 25 admins, or 10 client groups. $299/mo. Do not pick it because Starter was $29. The editor you searched for is on this card.

Corporate if 2,000 monthly active learners is not the cap you can live with. Custom. Talk to sales.

Skip LearnWorlds if

You will sit on Starter while enrollments stack. The $5 is the product. Also skip if 1,000 monthly active learners will not hold, or if 2,000 mass-email credits will not hold the list. Skip Pro Trainer as a Kajabi substitute: 5,000 email credits and no Kajabi-style unlimited funnels grid. Skip Learning Center as “the cheap player” — it is $299/mo. Skip if you needed Kajabi’s documented group room of 200; LearnWorlds lists live sessions via Zoom/Meet/Teams/Webex, not that capacity number this fetch. Skip SCORM on Starter — not listed on the grid tonight; Pro Trainer is 20 packages.

If the offer is a feed, read Kajabi vs Skool before you pay for an LMS you will not open. If you wanted a cheaper recorded library without the interactive-video thesis, Thinkific Basic is $54/mo — vendor page Thinkific. If you wanted the cheaper all-in-one storefront, that page is Podia.
